Francesco Cirelli came to wine from business school in 2003, bought land in the hills of Teramo about eight kilometers from the Adriatic, and built the kind of farm that barely exists anymore — vines alongside olive trees, grain, fruit trees and animals wandering among them, all certified organic by 2006. This is his straightforward Montepulciano: no amphora, no oak, just clay-and-limestone-grown fruit fermented spontaneously on native yeasts in stainless steel and bottled without fining or filtration. Yields are kept deliberately low. It comes out on the wild, herb-scented side of Montepulciano rather than the plush commercial version, and it drinks brilliantly with a light chill on a warm night.

Returns & Exchanges

We stand behind every bottle we sell.

  • If the wine is less than 10 years old and it is corked, you may return it to us for a full refund or exchange within 60 days of purchase. You must show us proof of purchase. We understand that you may not live near a shop and that it is difficult to ship open bottles of wine to us, so if there's any problem feel free to Contact Us and we'll work it out.
  • For wines older than 10 years, the consumer bears the risk of a faulty cork, but we accept returns of older bottles if the wine is faulty as a result of improper storage. Please come by the store or Contact Us if there is a problem.
